Anyone know if there is a dealer that sells this in the US?  It looks great and you can't beat the price.  Anyone handle one?  It reminds me of a Rat.

Not handled one in person but Tarro seemed more than happy with it's bigger brother the chopper I believe

Hadn't seen that before. It original version made by Camillus as part of the Becker line is a super performer. I have one of the Beckers and really like it. The blade on it was 7.5 inches though, and more of a trailing point than a clip point design.

Thanks for the photo, clearly the same line of knife.  I fear I am becoming more obsessed by this knife.  I can't believe its not available in the states, given it looks like a Rat and those are great sellers.

440ER must be a surgical stainless steel?

All I remember is that it's a pretty much unspecified grade of 440, but it's not as bad as "surgical" quality.

According to some random searches, and getting lost on some German forum...

It's akin to 440A and DIN X55 CrMo14.

It's unbelievable that the knife isn't available in the U.S have you contacted the company direct ?

They actually responded already, though not what I wanted to hear.

"We don't have any immediate plans on carrying this knife in the US; however,
that doesn't mean that we won't in the future.  It is a nice knife, and I
will pass along to Germany your request for us to carry it here."

Customer Rep-Hello Germany, Craig wants you to send the Magnum Camp knife over. 
Germany-ok.

Will it be UPS or FED-EX?
